Summary
“Hi,” Vickie says.
“Hi,” Robin says, in a register impossible and strange. It’s like playing a note at the very edge of an instrument’s range. She sounds like her trumpet did when she was a child. She clears her throat. “Hi? Uh, movies, we have movies? Can I help you with any— uh, do you need—”
She winces. They stare at each other for a moment.
“Can I ask a question?” Vickie says, abruptly. She sounds, still, determined.

(five questions Vickie asks about Robin's love life et cetera, and one question Robin asks Vickie)

Summary
“Monsters aren’t real,” Vickie says, feels a little too desperate for how normal a sentence that should be.
“They— yeah, they don’t seem like they would be,” Robin says, and then, “Hey, hey, don’t worry about it, it’ll be over soon, right? It will all go back to normal soon enough.”
-
(Vickie doesn't believe all the stories about monsters, and she has other things to worry about anyway: school, for one, and also how to get Robin to kiss her)

Summary
Steve leans against the side of the boathouse and lets Eddie fumble with the cheap Bic lighter for a minute before he clears his throat and says, “You want a light?”
It's hard to read his tone. There's a bitter, suspicious, self-defensive part of Eddie that wants to lash out, but instead he grips the lighter until the plastic creaks and says, “Sure. If you have one.”
“Yeah.” Steve digs in his pocket and comes up with a nice Zippo. He doesn't hand it to Eddie; instead, he flicks the flame on and holds it out for him to lean down, and there's an intimacy to it that Eddie wasn't quite expecting. Like one of those old Leyendecker paintings. He imagines this tableau sketched out in clean art deco lines: the prom king and the freak. A study in contrasts.
-
Or: In which Eddie survives the Upside Down, and Steve Harrington turns out to be nothing like he expects.

Summary
Taking advantage of the distraction, Steve leans over and snags the flannel Eddie had been wearing out from behind him, shrugging it on quickly before Eddie realizes what he’s doing.
Annoyingly enough, it takes several minutes for Eddie to notice.
“No, not the flannel,” Eddie warns when he finally glances over, closing his notebook slowly and putting it to the side. “You’re holding half my wardrobe hostage already!”
Steve snickers, standing up and backing away a few feet.
“I guess you’re just going to have to come get it, then.”
(Or: 5 times Steve steals Eddie's clothes, and one time Eddie returns the favor.)

“We’ve been asked to do a different task today,” Vickie says.
“Oh shit,” Robin says. “No more PB&Js?”
Vickie laughs.
“No more peanut butter monstrosities for us at least for now, yeah. You think it’s because we’re too good at PB&Js or because we’re too bad at it?”

Summary
“Did you know?” he asked at the last moment, voice cracked and warbly from crying. He hadn’t sounded that young in years.
She hesitated for one painstaking moment, and at last replied, “No, Mike.”
She almost closed the door, but stopped again.
“I am sorry,” she whispered, remorse staining her voice, and quietly closed the door behind her.
Three days after graduation, Will disappeared in the dead of night with nothing but a note left in his absence, and Mike's heart left with him.

“I won’t tell him,” she says softly. “Any of them. About any of it.”
Will looks up with surprise. “Why?” he asks.
Nancy just gives a tight smile, but in her eyes, something deeper brews. “You keep my secret, and I’ll keep yours,” she responds.
Will doesn’t really understand much about Nancy Wheeler at all. But Will’s happy to be her secret keeper, so he nods.
OR,
At the end of the world, makeshift living arrangements push the unexpected together, and a new Byers-Wheeler alliance forms.

Summary
“I love her like I love Lucas, or Dustin, or Max. Like a friend.”
Will nodded slowly. “Like me.”
“No,” Mike said before he could stop himself, “not like you.”
--
Holly gets taken by Vecna and Mike knows he has bigger problems than his unrequited feelings (or so he thinks) for Will Byers. That doesn't stop him from spilling his guts anyway and avoiding the ensuing conversation by diving headfirst into the mindscape to save his baby sister, and maybe find Max along the way. But Will isn't going to let him get away with a confession that easily. AKA Mike is clocked by more than one person in the midst of the apocalypse and figures he might as well go for broke.

Summary
Vickie can still remember in vivid detail Robin and Sheena dancing together at Prom, both defying the dress code.The bravery of being yourself, of even knowing who you are. Vickie’s just an amalgamation of girls from her favorite books and movies. She’s so jealous sometimes it aches.
“Robin, get over here,” Nancy calls. "I think I picked your color."
“We’re literally on the way to a barbecue. My color is gonna be pig’s blood in a minute.”
“Shush. Just think of it as warpaint,” Nancy murmurs, crouching in front of Robin. She flinches at the first touch of a hand to her cheek. Vickie cannot look away from the splay of Nancy’s hands on her jaw and the scar on Robin’s thigh and Robin’s eyes fluttering shut.
When her eyes snap back open, they find Vickie’s, staring at her right over Nancy’s shoulder.

It was madness, to allow himself to get lost in the wonders that shaped Guinevere, but there was nothing else he wished to do apart, perhaps, being the one spinning her around in happiness and laughter.
